It’s esentually Pokémon yellow version but In 3D with Pokémon visibly running around the wild and Pokémon go catching mechanics. Having a blast with the game. Always fun to go back to Kanto and the original 151 Pokémon.
And to the naysayers who said this game would be bad without wild Pokémon battles: it’s actually almost better. The reason being is you can see the Pokémon in the wild and avoid them if you wish. We all know the terror of running into 1 million zubats and caterpies randomly in the wild. In this game you get to avoid that mess.

Perfect for recreating the nostalgia of OG pokemon games in Kanto region. The wild pokemon catching mechanics have been taken from Pokemon Go and is equally disappointing, but everything else is great.

Kids, ages 15, 15 and 6, loved getting to add this to their Pokemon game collection. 15 year olds mastered it in no time at all.

The game starts off very easy and you might think you’ll get past this thing in a couple of weeks, but there is so much more to the game. Despite making it easy to level up your team, the game becomes increasingly more challenging as you progress, but never feels overwhelming. I highly recommend this game to everyone! Also, you can acquire ALL of the original starters (Carmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur) just by doing some simple tasks. You might even be able to catch some duplicates too for trading.

Such an incredibly fun game! I’m not big on video games but this brings me back to my childhood and is such a fun way for me to spend time with the kids for game night. I wish we could explore more than the Kanto region in these games but it’s still such a fantastic time!

It is really a remake where they are playing with options for the future and others. It plays really well actually, there are aspects that I like better and some that I miss. Maybe a bit easy but a decent intro game. Very happy.

Our family plans Pokemon Go together, so it seemed natural to pickup Pokemon Let's Go for Switch. I haven't really played it much myself, but I've watched my son play it quite a bit. He's 9 years old, and he loves it. The graphics are good, and it seems to play s lot like the mobile game. Which is to say, it seems a little simplistic to me for a switch game, but again, he loves it. It is also cool that you can transfer Pokemon from the mobile game to the Switch game. But we haven't actually gotten to that yet, as there is only 1 location in the game where this can be done. I think I'll give the game a try if I can find the time. In the meantime, it'll be entertaining my son. Also, we were interested in the Pokeball Plus (?) accessory, but at $50, seems way too expensive to me.

Well I like the game in general. The only thing I don’t like about it is the fact that you can’t even battle wild Pokémon’s except for a few select ones. You have to catch them like you would in Pokémon Go. That’s how your Pokémon gain experience and level up. So no wild Pokémon fighting.
On the other hand, you can avoid wild Pokémon’s because you can see them walking around. I thought that was pretty cool.
But other than that, it’s a good game. I enjoy playing it on my free time.

Faithful to the recreation I am in love with this game. Might be a bit too easy but am hearing endgame content is challenging.

What a game! I remember playing the original Pokemon Yellow on my yellow Gameboy color, and falling in love with the world. While there are some fundamental changes to the way you capture the creatures, it has been an incredibly fun adventure. The story and lore is relatively the same, while taking advantage of new graphics and bringing the pokemon to life. By nature, the game is easier due to the catching mechanic (which levels your party up), but I would recommend for players new and old.

The graphics are amazing but no wild pokemon battles, it's more like pokemon go or the safari in the older games

Got this game because it’s connectivity to Pokémon go but it’s quite fun on its own. To simply put it, it is a really epic game. As someone who played the first Pokémon games in their very early childhood, it’s nice to see how vibrant and colorful the landscapes and Pokémon appear in a full 1080p HD television compared to its very early counterpart of the late 90’s video game handheld.
